Local vs. Miles Away

I think that having a wide variety of food in our super markets all the time is a great thing and it is one of the highlights of our agricultural system. However I also think it is important to support local farms what is your opinion?

I like to be able to walk into a super market and be able to pick what I want. The benefit of such a large system is things never go out of season this makes you question freshness but it is better than not having that product at all.
